Martin Bennie Photography

 



Having been exposed to photography all through my younger years by my dads love of photography, I received my own Pentax ME super film camera when I was 16 and throughout the following 30 years, captured moments never to be forgotten of my friends and I growing up, through the 80’s and 90’s.

Like everyone else starting out in photography, I stumbled my way through from bad to worse and back again. Over the next 20 years and into the age of didgital photography, I slowly improved, but never to the levels I wanted.

Then in the period around 2007, I moved to South Korea to work and under extreme work stress, i discovered how to capture what i felt, as i tried to escape the levels of stress i suffered. I’ve contiued to work in the oil industry and but now want to move into photography full time to find a more connected way of living.

My photography is about turning off the outside stimulas and stepping into a state that some might call a form of meditation, where i don’t think, i just feel what i see and try to show you what i feel at that moment.

My style of Landscape photography does not involve much planning and I watch the sky, and because I know the area so well, I can decide there and then where to head depending on the light.

I offer personal Landscape tuition or can accommodate groups, to teach people, the little they actually need to know about their cameras and concentrate more on helping you discover how to begin to see in a differant way.

A key facet of my work is about trying to simplify and slow down this fast-paced, chaotic mess we live in and help you find this inner peace quicker than i did.

There are many photographers that can teach you photography, but my style is about understanding how to capture an image with your heart. I will teach you only the basics of your camera and concentrate more on how to see a shot.
